From personal experience, I don't think there's much you can do. I mean if you're making an effort to meet people it then depends entirely on if those people are willing. People who spend a lot of time on their own often get accused of not making the effort. But personally speaking, you can make the effort but if others…

You probably don't need to eat that much protein, maybe work out what your target weight is and calculate your protein requirements based on that.

I can't imagine what tomfoolery has made you think that is true, you are literally the first and only person I've come across who thinks this.

So many people want to over complicate something that is so simple, like simplicity cannot work for some reason. Eat more dang food you calorie avoider! Can't chew anymore bites? Fine, get a blender, chuck protein powder in, peanut butter, oats, milk, banana, whatever you like, blend, drink. Even if you just make yourself…

That's not fair, adding someone as a friend doesn't mean you have to then tolerate them making advances. Too many people seem to take any little thing as a sign of someone welcoming advances. This place is full of people being friends to discuss and share fitness goals, not hit on each other. No friendship…

That pictures sums up why people get annoyed at this. It's not that you're trying to share what you're doing as much as it is you're trying to tell people you're better than them and they should acknowledge this or at least know so. I go to the gym and strength train 3-4 times a week, I go cycling for hours, I play…

Nutella pizza, good luck avoiding that.

That's not the best way at all, it is a way, but you have no right to insist it is the best way.

And before anyone starts with the "are you weighing your food and how can you be sure" etc comment (although i promise that i understand you are only trying to help) we are quite fortunate in the UK that we can buy individual portions of alot of foods like beans and chicken breasts, steaks, veggies, bags of rice etc so…

Fibre's great, you just need to carefully increase how much of it you eat. If you go for a spell where nothing is coming out, it'll be followed by a spell where you're basically living on the toilet. If you want your digestive system to not be sluggish on a good day, more fibre is going to help long term. Also lots of…

If you've got room at home you could always purchase your own weights, bench press, squat rack, etc. But if not and you want to build muscle, you'll need to join a gym to lift weights. Body weight exercises at home can only do so much, and not nearly as much as you seem to desire.

Shame you're not in the UK or you could get the Meridian brand peanut butter I get which only has peanuts on the ingredients. Or Whole Earth. You could look on Ebay for it of course. But you'll definitely have nuts'n more in the US. But all that said, this guy gets it: There are people who have gotten into great shape not…

So you logged 'strictly' until Saturday last week and from Wednesday this week? So that means from Saturday last week until the end of Tuesday this week you didn't log 'strictly'? If that is the case, I think you have your answer. Some people tend to think logging some days but not others is enough, and sometimes it is if…

I can't be friends with anyone who kicks kittens or enjoys others doing so.

I've been single for about 12 years, it's not very good. But you actually look dateable and I've no doubt you'll have your pick of the people on here at least. And in the real world too.

No, I lost all of my excess weight years ago and since then it's been a constant check to see that I haven't started putting any back on. All the time and work that went into getting here, I'm paranoid it'll all be for nothing if I don't keep check.

It's not a teenager thing, it has no age restriction feeling like that. Is selective eating actually some sort of medical condition? Sure I've heard it actually has a proper scientific sounding name. I can't really see how you can't eat fruit and veg, but maybe you could try one of those greens powders (I'd recommend The…

I can't get away from fast food. I can't get off of my butt and get up to work out. Not even take a walk. Unless you have some sort of physical impairment, then that isn't true. You absolutely can do all of those things, telling yourself you can't won't help you. Nobody is going to make you want to do those things if you…
-
Yeah you can. Not telling yourself you can't is generally a good first step.

Sounds like this older gentleman at my previous gym who always came in wearing a tight vest and super short shorts that weren't all that good at keeping things tucked away and frightened numerous young ladies whilst he was on the leg press. Still 6 lbs down from a couple of years ago, bro.

Do you have an aversion to signing up for a gym with a pull up bar? (Most have them)
-
I read that many people gain weight during Ramadan because those fast breaking meals tend to be big epic. I hope someday some wonderfully generous Muslim family might take pity on my small, weak looking stature and invite me to join them. Not that I'm usually found wandering the streets looking hungry and lonely at nights…
-
And what's wrong with being weird? I've always turned down offers of "I'll motivate you/you motivate me" from people. I've got myself covered, it's not so much motivation as much as it is being able to push yourself and get into a routine. Nobody is ever going to say something that makes you do something you don't want to…

Whilst your message of focusing on slower release energy foods is admiral, it has nothing to do with 'clean' weight gain. That is achieved from eating at a moderate calorie surplus, if that surplus is achieved from eating sugary food items, it's still 'clean' weight gain. Sugar will only lead to excessive if it leads to an…

That's a bold claim, I presume that's your own experience of sticking to a keto diet but that doesn't mean it would necessarily be everyone else's. Still though, if you're going to offer that up as a suggestion maybe you should go into a bit more detail for the sake of OP so they can decide a bit better.

I had an alpro dark chocolate soya yoghurt thingy with some apple and cinnamon flavoured peanut butter and dipped a banana into it for breakfast this morning.

This might suit you http://rippedbody.jp/reverse-pyramid-training/ Ignore the reverse pyramid training part and go for the 5 x 5 part further down. I've added some additional pull ups, leg extensions, lunges and calf raises to this. Although I think more knowledgeable people than me might argue there should be barbell rows…
